CICC published a report stating that CR Beverage (02460.HK) achieved results in the first half of the year that met the bank's expectations.

The bank expects that in the second half of the year, the company's efforts to enrich its product matrix and deepen channel reforms are likely to continue, believing that the short-term adjustments are to build momentum for long-term development. The bank anticipates that the company's operating conditions will improve after entering the beverage peak season, with packaging water and beverage sales potentially achieving year-on-year growth in July and August.

The company's current trading is at 22.5/15.8 times the forecasted price-to-earnings ratio for 2025/2026; the target price has been reduced by 29% to HKD 12, corresponding to 24.2/16.9 times the forecasted price-to-earnings ratio for 2025/2026, maintaining an "outperform the industry" rating
